Lesson Worksheet: Combining Functions Mathematics

In this worksheet, we will practice adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing two given functions to create a new function and identifying the domain of the new function.

Q1:

What is the domain of the quotient ๐‘“๐‘”, in terms of the domains of ๐‘“ and ๐‘”? Assume that both domains are subsets of the set of real numbers.

  • Athe difference between the domain of ๐‘“ and the domain of ๐‘”
  • Bthe intersection of the domain of ๐‘“ and the domain of ๐‘”
  • Cthe larger of the domain of ๐‘“ and the domain of ๐‘”
  • Dthe union of the domain of ๐‘“ and the domain of ๐‘”
  • Ethe intersection of the domain of ๐‘“ and the domain of 1๐‘”
